Perhaps Isiah needs a couple weeks in rehab... again. Since 'The View' is considering men as host... I'd like to throw my name into the pool. I was metrosexual before going metro was cool and I remember to lower the toilet seat an amazing 78.3% of the time... Bank!

It has come to my attention (mostly from comments made by Mr. James Murphy) that guys have been Macking on the lovely Miss Dale in her vlog spot comment section.

Well paint me green and call me astro turf but I soooo didn't see that coming. I thought I was the only one! ;)

I think it only fair that we settle this once and for all... either we have some sort of "Cage Match to the Death" for the fair damsel (that would be you Brigitte)... or possibly we could have a 'Win a Date with Brigitte' contest!

Any thoughts on this guys???

Lastly... I just found out Brig is from Nebraska...
Helloooooooo... I heart me some corn!
Holla Brig... we're perfect for each other!

Whoa there Pat,.. Give the girl her space. I mean, I'm sure she's flattered by your affection, drooling, stalking,.. whatever you want to call it, but c'mon,..

Besides, I'd be surprised if she wasn't already taken.

Whatdya say you get your tubby butt out of that chair, your hand out of that bag of pork rinds, and find a girl out in your neck of the woods. Even if you don't find anyone at first, something tells me you could use the fresh air.

Here's my thought about what you said Pat. You are a freak.

Hi Pat,

As an Australian who watched the Big Brother show, I dont think the contestants or the producers were throwing slime at the Mexican flag in an effort to denigrate Mexicans'! It was a game and no harm was intended. Your sarcasm is lame and your comments are rediculous and ignorant. Get a life.

Did you have to drag MY name into this??? All of you young, single, affectionate/drooler/stalker types have totally misinterpreted where I'm coming from!

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but MY motivation for lavishing attention and compliments on Brigitte is driven not only by my admiration of her beauty, but also by the fact that I'm equally impressed by her imagination, talent, intelligence, and the body of work she's already produced at the age of twenty-something.

Furthermore, a young lady always hast to be careful on the Internet. In this faceless, nameless, accountable-less medium, a guy can give a girl an impression that he's a young, incredibly handsome, amazingly rich prince, ready to sweep her off her feet and sail away on his yacht. Meanwhile on the other end of the Internet, there, in a dirty, dusty din of iniquity, sits a big, ugly-as-sin, bald, bearded, tattooed, divorced, fat old fart who is both smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer while he's broadbrushing his invented fantasy.

I hate disingenuousness like that! SO... let me set the record straight. It's truth-in-advertising time, people!

As for me, well, yup... I'm a big, ugly-(but-not-as-sin... more like "kinda-ugly-in-a-funny-lookin'-kinda-way"), bald, bearded, NEVER-tattooed, happily married, fat (or should I be nice to myself and say "husky"), old (twice Brigitte's age) non-smoking father-of-three, whose usual consumption of alcohol is one sip of wine at the Communion rail in church on Sunday. (Did I really say all that in one sentence?)

While you guys are pining away, drooling after Brigitte, my only stance toward her, especially given my very happy marriage and the disparity of years between Brigitte and me, would HAVE to be virtually avuncular at best. Think of me as just a nice older gentleman that values beauty, talent, intelligence, imagination and graciousness in people.

Now... why do I contribute so much to Brigitte's vlog spot? Frankly, because it's perfect for me. I've got a tech editor/writer background, and SHOULD be able to launch my own blog space, but the line of work I'm in would make the red tape involved rather difficult. I cannot publish anything of my own without a hassle. Nor can I make comments on a blog space involving certain, more serious subjects, because that could produce it's own difficulty. The entertainment industry, as a subject, poses no difficulty, however... so here I am.

...and of course, seeing the smiling face of a young beauty each weekday is a plus. I mean, even us fat old farts have eyes.

...by the way, Brigitte... (if you're reading this)... good job on making my suggested changes in your About Me page. I'm thinkin' that a javascript scheme could compress the content even more, so that guys wouldn't have to scroll down (below your photo, which lifts it off the screen)... but that's for another time when you're not so swamped.

Whoaaaa!
Brig... if you read these comments I seriously hope you realize I'm just teasing... my silly attempts at flirtation were meant more as a compliment then a serious come on... You are obviously pretty and quite frankly the most attractive thing about you is your wit and sarcasim... well that and your freakishly sweet smile. I really enjoy your vlogs!
Jim... totally appreciate your comments... sorry to drag ya in... and I appreciate your honesty. I agree about the 'young lady needing to be careful' stuff... I've got a 15 yearold cousin that had some perv pull that crap on her.
Rob... I prefer doritos and actually... I'm getting ready to go to a party at a friends house... hopefully I'll find a girl there as the woods border his back yard.
David... yes... true dat
Crocodile John... ummm... are you calling me lame or big brother... I get confused easily

Well have a great weekend all...
Party! Party! Party!

Excerpts from SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR BACHELORS:

1. Words, once spoken or written (and sent) can never be withdrawn. Rather than backstroke and deny, just admit that you don't always choose the best words... and that the feelings that DROVE the words you chose were genuine, ...at least in the moment.

2. If a woman is obviously pretty, don't inform her using precisely those words. Flattery falls flat, while praise will raise. Show at least a modicum of imagination when telling a woman how gorgeous you think she looks... they love that stuff.

3. Don't make summary judgements about what is most attractive thing about a woman, ESPECIALLY if she is not a very close friend. She may not agree with your assessment, and may even be offended. It would be better to couch it within the context of your own opinion... e.g. "the things I really appreciate most about you are..."

4. Never, never, NEVER, N-E-V-E-R use the word "freakish" in ANY sense to describe a woman's physical attributes! Holy cow, I can't tell you just how wrong that looks!

Good luck at the party Patrick... hope you have a designated driver!

...who knows... MAYBE he'll learn something. Ya never can tell.

There once was a young man who didn't know how to tell a woman how pretty she was. He went to an older, more experienced friend.

The older friend advised him, "Tell her something romantic, like: 'When I look at you, time stands still'."

The younger man, later approaching the young beauty, got all flustered and forgot his line. Straining to remember it, he blurted out to her, "Your face could stop a clock!"

I think Miss B's comments about the mexican flag BB incident were totally spot on. I too am Australian and like so many many many ppl I know, we think BB past its due date after the very first one. That show does nothing to humiliate us and be fodder for voyerers. Even the PM demanded it be taken off air, and that was last season.

Every idiot under the sun knows that if you mess with another country's flag you know the end result is not going to be pretty. No matter how many "geez dude it was just a game" comments you can muster up.

I hope this latest incident sparks a more political debacle that sees it finally die a very long overdue death..

I couldn't agree with you more, except to say that the desecration of ANY national flag, be it one from another country or from one's own country, is unfortunate.

In this postmodern world, we have been dumbed down to believe that vexillology and symbolism are entirely arbitrary, but that was not always the case.

The ancient understanding of symbolism was that there was an intrinsic, contiguous relationship between a symbol and the thing it symbolized. Historically, flags were emblems of clans, nobles, armies, etc. prior to the
War of 1812. When Francis Scott Key penned the words that *our* flag was still there, the concept of a flag as a national symbol was born. The idea stuck and became global.

If we are to understand vexillology and symbolism in its historical context, as we have received that understanding from our forefathers, when we take a national emblem and desecrate it, we are not simply messing up material fabric. We are, additionally, tearing deeply at the spiritual fabric of a people.

What's news about The View looking for a man to replace Rosie? It is completely logical to replace one man with another.

"It is completely logical to replace one man with another."

Good Lord! I know Rosie is a butch lesbian, but that zinger was over the top! I was expecting another comment about metrosexual men, so it took me a little by surprise.
